Paper Flower Wreath with Terhi | Video Tutorial

18
Mar
Leave a Comment

Hey Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you sharing some very colourful spring inspiration.
I was getting ready to host a small party, just because of spring and the upcoming summer, but obviously all these social occasions are now moved to future. But nothing will stop be cheering out home with flowers and colors!
Come and take a look, there’s a video at the end of this post.

This wreath is about 16″ wide, and I love it so much! I do love making small things like mini albums, but sometimes it’s fun to go really BIG.

As you can see from the process video, all of the blooms are created in very simple way. Most of them are rolled flowers, which means I have cut them with my Silhouette and then rolled the paper and glued it down. Others are layered flowers and they are just as simple as the others.
And what’s more, you can do it all using scissors if you prefer.

After I had all the flowers prepared, I cut all the leaves too and started to think about the design on the black metal hoop.

Hot glue became me dearest friend during the creation! It’s so quick and easy way to adhere the paper blooms together! First I adhered all the flowers and then the leaves.

Here’s the process video to brighten up your day!

Keep on crafting, it’s important during the times like this.

Male Layout with Terhi | Video Tutorial

21
Feb
Leave a Comment

Hey there Pebbles Friends!
Terhi here again with you, sharing a scrapbook layout made with the new Hey, Hello collection. There’s also a creation process video for you to watch.
First, let me tell you something about the process.

Have you ever really thought about masculine scrapbook layouts? Do you think all pages about boys or men should be blue, green, brown… All dark colors and maybe couple images about trucks, cars or sports?
I started to create “male layout”, but after a short consideration I decided on keeping my style, keeping my favorite colors and products and just let my hands free!
Scrapbooking has no rules, and the page needs to do is telling the story forward.

The starting point for the page was the photograph: My husband enjoying fishing and endless summer night. The story includes some fish, but also lots of nature, beautiful sunset but mostly happiness about feeling good.
Therefore I created a fishing net kind of a design, using eyelets and embroidery threads. Then, I added photos and embellishments on and under the threads.
Take a look to the video below.

Hope you are inspired!

Patriotic Activities with Terhi

03
Jul
Leave a Comment

Hey all and Happy July!
Terhi here with you, just in time to celebrate 4th of July with the citizens of the USA.
I’d like to share something patriotic from here where I live, in Finland. I made this scrapbook layout to capture our story about the way we celebrate our Independence Day, and from the end of this post you can also find a process video to learn how to make similar layout yourself!

Celebrating Independence Day in Finland usually means another snowy day, and therefore our activities during the day are either inside a building or somehow tied up with the snow. In my family the tradition is to go hiking in the snowy woods, set a campfire and have some delicious outdoor food (and hot cocoa!) in crisp freezing air. Sure the day has some other repetitive elements, but I feel this one is the closest to my heart.

Even though the Finnish Independence Day is all white and blue in many, many ways, I chose to create this layout using the Big Top Dreams collection with its amazingly rich colors. These colors shows exactly how much fun it is to slide down a hill with a sled, or be under a snowy tree when another kicks it hard to the arm!

This layout was very easy to do, however fussy cutting all the flowers sure took some time. Take a look to the process video below to see how it all came together. If you can’t see the video here, click here to my YouTube channel.

Enjoy watching!

Hope you feel inspired! Have a fantastic day!

Oh Summertime Travel Journal

10

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a tutorial on how to create your own travel journal. This could be used to document your summer vacation adventures or to send with a child to summer camp. I decorated this one with the Oh Summertime collection.

Here is a peek at the inside pages… There is a side pocket that can be used to hold sticker sheets or ephemera pieces. You could even store postcards and stamps to send to friends and family when you are traveling.

There are 3 gusseted pocket pages that follow. You could store photos, postcards, or other memorabilia inside.

In the back I have added a notebook. I covered this one with pattern paper to pretty it up.

I have put together a YouTube tutorial complete with measurements. It is fairly easy to put together. I hope you have a look. Click here

Supplies:
734097 Oh Summertime 12×12 Paper Pad
734094 Oh Summertime Ephemera
734086 Oh Summertime Cardstock Stickers
Sticky Thumb .25″ Double Sided Adhesive

Triangles and Beach Walks with Terhi

Hello lovelies! Terhi here with another layout (and a process video) made with my new favorite collection: Chasing Adventures.

During the last month or so our family has gone through all kind of illnesses, like the rest of the world too. During the time of runny noses and fevers the idea of calming scrapbooking is usually gone and sitting in front of pretty items isn’t so tempting, if even possible. After this kind of times getting back on track might feel overwhelming.
What’s your secret to get over it?
Mine is going with the most beautiful products and taking it easy.

By saying “taking it easy” I don’t only mean taking time to heal first, but making easy projects. Like this layout, it must be the simplest layout I have ever done. There is nothing tricky, only papers, embellishments and some color added with Creative Devotion Gel Crayons.

While I was still coughing and watching movies, I thought sometimes scrapbook-related could be done from the sofa. I chose one of the flower papers from Chasing Adventures and started cutting. Fussy cutting made me instantly feel better.

After I felt strong enough, I took my camera and started filming.
Hope you like what you see!
